Even more Jets?

I should know this but is the US carrier actually available for cat&trap or is it still being worked on?

Just ran two AI F-14s launch to recovery.  Went just fine.  Only complaint was a 2 wire instead of the sought after 3 wire.  Meh.  Hell, they even got the oversweep of the wings for storage correct!

 

Personally, I'd like to see a D model as well.  As they say, the D, with those GE110s, made the F-14 the aircraft it always should have been.  Shouldn't be all that difficult to do, either, so long as you're not superstickler for exactness.  (If it says "Pratt and Whitney" on the engines, it damn well better say "Martin Baker" on the seats.)

 

I do hope they put TARPS and Bombcat capability on it, just like VF-41 had.

 

Edit: Apparently, I'm not entirely sure of what I'm talking about with the F-14.  A+ and Bs DID have the GE110s, not just the D. More research needed...  D had all kinds of whiz-bang zippy gadgets.  Unfortunate that we aren't getting it, but that that would mean a whole new cockpit, too.  A bit like that A-10A vs A-10C.
